From 301f227fc860624d37ba5dae9da57dcf371268db Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jakub Kicinski Date: Thu, 6 Apr 2023 18:25:36 -0700 Subject: net: piggy back on the memory barrier in bql when waking queues Drivers call netdev_tx_completed_queue() right before netif_txq_maybe_wake(). If BQL is enabled netdev_tx_completed_queue() should issue a memory barrier, so we can depend on that separating the stop check from the consumer index update, instead of adding another barrier in netif_txq_maybe_wake(). This matters more than the barriers on the xmit path, because the wake condition is almost always true. So we issue the consumer side barrier often. Wrap netdev_tx_completed_queue() in a local helper to issue the barrier even if BQL is disabled. Keep the same semantics as netdev_tx_completed_queue() (barrier only if bytes != 0) to make it clear that the barrier is conditional. Plus since macro gets pkt/byte counts as arguments now - we can skip waking if there were no packets completed.
